As a kid I loved tinkering with things, I have a vivid image from reading Duck Avenger (or Stål-Kalle as it was called in Sweden, the original name of the comic is Paperinik and of Italian origin). He's in this robot/exo-skeleton and you have full view of all of the different buttons and gadgets ...
In Alien Covenant, David lures Captain Oram into a room where we see what look like the eggs that only queens lay (refer to Aliens and Alien Resurrection films). David later admits that he has been tinkering with the pathogen, and the various forms that are mutated from its hosts, but I can see n...
In the web comic Erfworld, the spell “Summon Perfect Warlord” summons the perfect warlord, who may not be perfect by the standards of Erfworlders, but possesses the skills needed to accomplish whatever they were summoned for (along with, it seems, an associated Fate). The spell isn’t unknown to t...
By and large, the Sith had always sought to overcome death itself, believing the dark side to hold the ultimate secret of immortality. Darth Vader was not the first Sith Lord who wished to stop death, though he may possibly be the only one who wanted to stop the death of a loved one rather than h...
In Extremis we see an execution attempt against Missy. It uses a pretty high tech setup with stuff killing both hearts, and I believe the brain, simultaneously and they still are worried it might not keep a Time Lord permanently dead. It is also implied it took a whole to work out this killing me...
In Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, Jack Sparrow — Captain Jack Sparrow — flees to land and ends up with the Pelegostos, who make him his chief, which was nice.
When Will Turner comes along, the size of the crew of the Black Pearl has shrunken somewhat. The Pelegostos seem to be canni...
"It was not worth feeling what small, fleeting joy life brings. And so, him carve out him heart, lock it down in a chest, and hide the chest from the world."
Davy Jones locked his heart away in a chest because of his love for Calypso, and possibly because of...
Obi-Wan cuts off the double-bladed lightsaber, thus making Maul's lightsaber into two single-bladed sabers. He is full of anger because of his master's death at the hands of the Sith Lord. Notice that Obi Wan is attacking Maul rapidly. My question is why didn't Obi-Wan cut off or slice Maul's h...
I recall Martin Seligman mention Isaac Asimov's foundation series, and the character Hans Seldon who used psychohistory to predict the future, which is kind of what behavioral economists are doing on a (much) smaller scale if you think about it. It seems like physicists, or biologists have a dea...
While browsing Health.SE, I came across an answer that makes the following claim:
A 2007 study by Nottingham University2 found that spicy foods can help kill cancer cells. Capsaicin, which is what makes many foods spicy, attacks the mitochondria of the cancer cells, triggering their death.

In the Great Hunt we learn that novices and accepted sometimes are put out of the White Tower, if they fail in some ways. These girls can channel thus presumably, should live quite long. How can it be that the Aes Sedai didn't know that those girls they put out of the tower live far longer than t...
I know Wizards can't apparate where they want on the Earth, except if they are very powerful but what about a house-elf ? Their magic is different so I was wondering if they can apparate wherever they want or if they have a limit too.
Since the civilization of Star Trek TNG had replication devices based on the transporter technology, would they be able to replicate antimatter and thus have an essentially infinite supply of energy? This would also make a nasty weapon.
R2-D2, from what I recall, can tilt his body forward or backward at approximately 45 degrees, most often backward as he rolls around using his third leg. Is it mechanically possible for him to tilt beyond that degree, anywhere close to what's demonstrated here (upside-down):
If no canon answe...
In The Mummy 2017,
What is the back story of this organization? How was it founded? Who was in it? What is its name?
EOM.
It kinda seemed to me like he did try to drive off without Laura, even after all that time. Which seems kinda sad to me.
How are ships in Star Wars able to burn? Cause in the movies and cartoons I see them burning and on fire, but what material of the ships make them combustible? All I see is old scrap metal which does not burn.
I have been trying to find it for the past 5 years or so, in vain. It's on fanfiction.net . One shot. I remember it vaguely.
But i hope it helps.
It's post war i think, every ones back for the last year or something.
Draco is alone, no more popular.
Draco is sitting by the black lake. Hermione...
I read somewhere that Ewan McGregor was in The Force Awakens, but no mention of his role. Was it just a cameo, or some other part? Was he actually in TFA?
In Season 5 episode 5 (Kill the Boy) , Ser Jorah Mormont contracts greayscale.
If Ser Jorah Mormont cut off his arm would he be cured?
So, I remember reading a while back some Black Panther comics [Old+Not sure what its called] but I remember that in the comics T'Chaka (father of T'Challa the current Black Panther) was killed by a character called Klaw. After doing some research, I found that in the comics:
"Explorer Ulysses...
In The Mummy 2017, the title character has symbols written on her face. I assume that they are ancient Egyptian hyroglyphics and that the people who made the movie chose specific words to write on her face. What do the symbols translate to in English?
Here is a link to a photo:
Can anyone tell me what the huge tyranid in the background is?
What happened to humans that died in "Childhood's End", either before the arrival of the Overlords or after? Did death allow you to join the Overmind.
